Summary

'I raced through it and loved every word.' - Frost Magazine

March 1944, West London: it’s been five months since Verity Clement fled home for a life on Britain’s canals and she could never have imagined how tough it would get. Yet hauling cargo between London and Birmingham is far easier to face than the turbulence she’s left behind.

New recruit Sylvia is struggling with demons from her past while crewmate Polly must carry on in the wake of devastating news.
